Fire Alarm Standards and Compliance

Here at Argus Fire and Security Ltd we work strictly in accordance with British standards. The current standard for Fire Alarms systems in the UK is BS-5839:2017 which has recently replaced BS-5839:2013. There are two principal reasons for the installation of a Fire Alarm, life protection and property protection.

Life systems are categorised as (L) type systems except manual systems which are (M) type.

Property systems are categorised (P) type systems designed to protect buildings and contents.

At Argus Fire and Security Ltd we can design life systems for use in both commercial and residential properties. British Standards has a different requirement for each of these, commercial premises must comply to BS-5839: 2017 Part 1 and residential premises to part 6 of the standard. The main difference between the standards relates to sound level requirements, however this is not the only difference.

There are different types of certification required for Fire Alarm companies. At Argus Fire and Security Ltd we have achieved BAFE approval for the maintenance of fire detection systems, along with full BAFE approval for system design and Installation to part 1 of the standard. At present, we do not hold approval for part 6 of the standard however we are looking to achieve this in the near future. To find out more about our reputable fire alarms in Wigan, contact us today!

    Fire Maintenance and Monitoring in Wigan

    Since the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order in 2005, it has become a mandatory requirement that all Fire Alarm systems are serviced twice a year, with one hundred percent of the system being checked over the 12-month period.
    All Fire Alarms are required to be supported by a minimum 24-hour stand by life in the event of power failure, along with sufficient battery capacity to run the sounders for a further 30 minutes. For off-site monitored systems further changes have now been implemented. This latest revision BS5839:2017 requires all communications and associated power supplies for off-site monitoring to be EN54 compliant.

    The new Fire Alarm standard that came into effect in September 2017 allows the connection of fire alarms through intruder alarms, provided the intruder alarm is EN54 graded. If Intruder alarm assisted monitoring is used, a variation form may be required to be signed by the customer agreeing to any non-conformity that may be present.

    Most monitored Fire Alarm systems in Wigan can be set up with brigade response. However, not all authorities will guarantee attendance without confirmation of a fire. Call our team to enquire.

    Fire Alarms Wigan – Frequently Asked Questions

    Why do you need a fire alarm system?
    A fire alarm is a system that is designed to detect and alert people of a fire. Most places have regulations requiring fire alarm installations in Wigan.
    What is BS-5839?
    BS-5839 is a British Standard that provides guidance on the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of fire alarm systems. At Argus, we operate strictly under these guidelines to ensure everyone’s safety when it comes to installing fire alarms in Wigan.
    How do I choose a fire alarm system?
    If you want to comply with BS-5839, the best option is a fire alarm system that’s designed for an installation environment such as offices, factories, warehouses or schools. Commonly known as ‘lone worker’ systems and often referred to simply as ‘alarm systems’, these fire alarm solutions monitor a single person at a time and are connected to an alarm receiving centre (ARC). We offer different solutions at Argus, so get in touch with our team to find out more.
    Is it necessary to test my fire alarm weekly?
    Yes, it is necessary to test your fire alarm weekly. This is mandated by many fire codes, and it’s essential to ensure that your alarm is always in working order in case of a fire emergency. At Argus, we offer regular testing services to our customers, so you can be confident that your alarm is always ready to go.
